some Memorable Railway Disasters

Only two othssrrIra railway disasters in
this begin to parallel that near
ChaIsNwyGrth-one at Campbell, Penn.
JGliy II, 1856, the result Of collision,
and the other at Ashtabula, Ohio, De-
cember 80, 1876, when bridge gave
way over creek. A hundred or more
lives were lost on both occasions.
Greater havoc, however, was wrought
near Cuantia, Mexico, June "a, 1851,
when the fall of bridge destroyed
nearly 200 lives and near Tcherny Q66
miles west OF Moscow Russia, July IL,
1882, where, by derailment, us passen-
gers were killed, and the remaining
thirty-nine on the train were all injured.
Indeed, as one comes down the scale he
still finds most Of the worst accidents
of this class occurring abroad. By that
at St. Hilaire, Canada, where the train
ran off a bridge, eighty-three were
killed and 800 wounded, June 20, 1864 ;
seventy-four persisted when the Tay
Bridge, near Dundee, Scotland, was
blown with a railway train into the
river, December rs, 1879; thirty-four
deaths ensued and seventy persons were
hurt by the breaking of a carriage tire
on the Great Western, at Shipton, En-
gland, December "a, 1874; fifteen were
killed and 100 injured by the Winchhurg
collision, between Edinburgh and Glas-
Cow, October 13, 1862; sixteen killed
and 320 injured at Kentish Town
Hampstead Junction), England, Sep
tember 2, 1861 twenty-three killed and
l76 injured two weeks before by the
Clayton Tunnel collision on the London
and Brighton road, and 200 were hurt
by the Kirby collision, on the Liverpool
and Blackpool road, June 20, 1857.

Pomona Hill Nurseries.
POMONA n. C.

Two and half miles west of Green's
boro, n. C.. The main line OF the B. &
D. r. r. passes through the grounds and
within 100 feet of the Office. Salem
trains make regular stops twice daily
each way. Those interested in Fruit
and F:uit growing are cordially invited
to inspect lnis the largest nursery in the
State and one among the largest in the
South.
The proprietor has NfoF-lnany years
visited the leading Nurseries North and
West, and corresponded with those ct
foreign countries, gathering every fruit
that was calculated to suit the South,
both native and foreign. The reputa-
ton of Pomona Hill Nurseries is such
that many agents going out from Green's
boro, representing other nurseries, try
to leave the impression that they are
representing these nurseries. Why do
they do il? Let the public answer.
I have in Stock growing (and can show
visitors the same) the largest and best
stock OF trees, &C., ever shown or seen
in anytwo nurseries in North Carolina,
consisting O.: apple, peach, pear, cherry,
plum, grape, japanese persimmon, Ja-
panese plum, apricots, nectariene, Rus
sian apricot, mulberry, ounces. Small
fruits Strawberry, raspberry, currants,
pecans, English walnuts, rhubarb, as
paragus, evergreens, shade trees, roses,
&c.
Give your order to my authorized
agent or order direct from the nursery.

MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY.
T. j. Croghan, White Truck Farmer
Of Charleston, Beaten and Shot
to Death.
Special to the Reqister.

CHARLESTON, August 16.-The city
was excited to-day by another mystic
rious murder, which happened in the
same section where the Mcknight MUIR
der occurred three years ago. The vic
tim is white man named T. j. Gro
CHAN, about 35 years of age, who was
engaged in planting truck farm near
the city boundary, in the northwestern
suburb. Croghan lived alone in house
on the farm, and was generally reported
to have kept is his iG5Sthe Ef5asy On the premises:
The last seen of him alive was last hlgnc
about Z O'Clock, when he went in the
house to prepare his supper. This morn
ing his body was found lying on the
piazza, badly bruised and battered and
with load of buckshot in his side. The
murderer had entered the house, it is
supposed, while Croghan was eating his
supper, shot him with shotgun or mus
ket loaded with buckshot, and then
started to drag the body out Of the house,
when he was evidently frightened and
left it lying on the piazza. A silver
watch that he had on is missing. An
inquest was organized, but there is abso-
lutely 10 clue to the murderer, and the
case threatens to be enveloped in the
same mysterious mystery that still en-
velopes the Mcknight murder case.
LATER.-Sam Hunter, q negro, has
been arrested on suspicion.

LOANS ON LANDS.
An Important Decision in the United
States Court-Commissio and Csu-
rions Rates of Interest.

WASHINGTON, August 13.--Hon. Emory
Spear, presiding in the United States
Circuit Court for the Southern District
Ct Georgia, who has been in the city for
some weeks, to-day rendered a decision
in the case Of Sherwood VS.. ROuntrce,
against the validity of contracts OF money
loan companies. He held that the prac-
tice of these companies, OF Withholding
from Is to 20 per cent of the amount
loaned under the device Of commissions
for negotiating the loan, was usurious
and illegal, and that where the money
lender who dealt through loan compa-
MES was shown to have carried on a set
tied business where these eXorbitant
and extravagant rates in addition to reg
ular interest were charged he was pre-
sumed to understand the nature OF the
contracts the loan compa oles were max
ing, and in the absence Of satisfactory
proof to rebut the presumption he could
recover only the amount received by the
borrower and the legal interest and not
commissions which are included in the
amount stated in the note or mort gage.
A verdict had been rendered in Georgia
upon this basis. The loan company had
moved for new trial. The decision Is
distinguished from the leading case OF
Call VS.. Palmer, ll6 United States,
where there was but single loan, and
where proof was brought that the lender
knew nothing of the usurious commits
sion charged, and did not authorize
them. This is the first decision upon
this precise question in the United States
Courts, and is thought to have an i'm
portant bearing, particularly in the
South and West, where these contracts
are numerous.

4 CLOSE CALL IN LAURENS,
THE CHATSWORTH HORROR.
Two Men Arrested Upon Suspicion
and Held for Trial.

CHICAGO, August l5.-The Times to-
day has dispatch stating that two men
have been arrested on the charge of
being the incendiaries who caused the
Chatswcrth horror. The authority given
Tor the information is a man named
Dobbs, who has been working for some
time past for a farmer named. Morris
kennoya, about three miles from Kent
land, Indiana Dobbs informed the
Times correspondent that the two men
were arrested on suspicion OF having set
the bridge on fire. They were given
preliminary examination before justice
of the peace, and the proof against them
was considered strong enough to hold
them in Jail, where they are now con-
fined, pending further proceedings.
Dobbs added that his employer Kenoya
was present at the examination. The
correspondent interviewed w. F. Terrell,
conductor of freight train, and learned
from him that the arrests had occasioned
considerable excitement on the State
line. He also said that Yard Master
Jones of the Toledo, Peoria and Western
Railroad, who is stationed at the State
line, visited Kentland Saturday evening
and confirmed the truth of the arrest.
WERE THE SECTION HANDS DEREL1CT
CHICAGO, August 15.-The News
special from Chatsworth says: A state
ment was made by J. II. Bullard,
highly respected citizen, to a reporter
to-day. Mr.. Bullard says he saw section
men carrying water into the house OF
the section foreman on Wednesday after
noon between and O'Clock, while be-
fore the Coroner's jury the section fore
man and his men testified that thev were
on the road at the time mentioned. Mr..
Bullard was disinclined to say much, but
from his remarks and those of other
citizens it is inferred that the road was
not examined Wednesday, despite the
instructions receive d by the section fore
man from the road master. son Wednes-
day morning." Mr.. Billiard said, ''the
station agent, who is my neighbor, told
me that Extraordinary precautions had
been ordered to be taken, as a heavy
passenger train was expected" =

We print elsewhere an account OF
one of the most horrible railroad &C.
cidents on record. It was first

suit Of the work of professional

horrible affair.

happy excursionists, in an instant
dashed into wreck and amidst
scenes of mourning and death.
But the most horrible part of this
dreadful affair is, that amidst this
scene of suffering and death some
6ends in human form began their
deeds of plunder and robbery, even to
taking the shoes from the feet of the
dead and dying. The man who can
be guilty of such deeds must be very
low indeed.

Railroad Strike in Mexico.

Ell PAso, TEXAS, August l6.-The
engineers of the first and second divis-
ion of the Mexican Central Railroad
struck yesterday. The cause OF the
strike is supposed to be the discharge of
one of their number. These divisions
extend from the City Of Mexico to
Colera, long stretch.
The mail and passenger trains are
running on time, but as it is feared that
freight cannot be handled, orders have
been sent out to station agents not to
receive perisbable freight. The road is
over 1900 miles long, and is most i'm
portant artery of interior trade. The
strike is likely to be serious in its effects
on business for short time. Great ef-
forts will be made to get freight en-
gineers, so that traffic may not be long
interrupted.
The officials maintain that the strike
was prompted by professional agitator
from the United States, and that no real
cause existed; but the striking engineers
maintain that they left work because
engineer Keller was discharged without
proper inquiry. '.-.,

TEllPERATURI


The Temperature has been about the
average, and has affected the crops
favorably. The first three days were
rather cool, but this has produced no
unfarorable results. The sunshine was
reported slightly below the average in
the upper counties. Elsewhere there
was about the average amount, which
has been generally favorable for the
crops.
CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Under the influence of favorable
weather conditions during the last few
days the crops have been benefited, and
the prospect is somewhat better than it
was for the week ending August 6.
Cotton, and especially on sandy lands,
is reported as shedding fruit to a great
extent, and rust is reported in some Sec
tions. The bottom land crops on the
Savannah and Wateree rivers are re-
ported totally destroyed and much dam
age has been done on the Savannah and
on the Saluda and Broad rivers and
in the Pacolet bottoms. Upland corn
is in fine condition with prospects
for large yield. Fodder pulling is now
general and with the fine weather OF
the last few days much has already been
gathered in fine condition. Caterpillars
are reported in Orangeburg, Barnwell
and Sumter Counties.

The Presidents Visit.
atlanta Constitution.

The theory of the Presidents tour IS
about this: Several months ago he
promised to visit the Atlanta Exposi-
ton. Amonth ago he promised to visit
the St. Louis Exposition. In response
to urgent invitations he has determined
to paw visit of few hours each to such
points as are between Washington and
St. Louis, st. Louis and Atlanta and At
lanta and Washington. He will not
make serious departure ON the direct
line between these points. The only
points at which he will remain longer
than day are St. Louis and Atlanta.
He will give these points two days each.
His Southern tour will be about as fol-
lows: He will 60 direct from Fort Smith
to Little Rock, Arkansas; from Little
Rock to Memphis, Memphis to Nashville,
and Nashville to Atlanta, and from At
lanta, perhaps, to Lynchburg, and
Lynchburg to Washington. His original
date for reaching Atlanta was Monday
night, the 18th. With this in view he
intended to reach Nashville from Mem
phis Saturday night at 8 O'Clock, and
spend Sunday night at Belle Meade, the
famous farm Of Gen. Jackson, with
whom he and his family are we'll ac-
quainted. He would have left Nashville
Monday, at II O'Clock sharp, and reached
Chattanooga at $50, where he would re-
main perhaps a half hour. He would
then proceed to Atlanta via the Western
and Atlantic Railroad at o'clock,
watching the Illuminated battletlelds
and the special Illumination OF Kennesaw
Mountain, and reaching Atlanta at 1880
Monday night. Learning that Tuesday
night would suit Atlanta even better
than Monday night for his arrival he
thought he would take the extra day for
Little Rock, which would throw him in
Memphis for Sunday. He would leave
Memphis Monday at -, reach Nashville
at night, leave Nashville Tuesday at
noon and reach Atlanta Tuesday night.
